Hi @Woodstockhip
Happy Friday.
So many different issues arose during my recovery, I could hardly worry so much about one niggle before it subsided or moved to another place.
All the sitting and the pain pre-op pain mostly manifesting in my lower back and rear end had me concerned this wasn't going to resolve after double hip replacement...though x-rays showed endstage OA in both and was definitely the main issue.
Most of us recover fairly quickly the first few months from the surgery trauma, but we also have to adjust and recover from issues that bad gait/posture, etc have caused.
There will be things you can do when you are further along, as you say, to help allay SI joint and ongoing issues.
It really is a year long recovery...with ups and downs but usually with continuous improvement.
Some heat on your rearend might help now that you are further along. I often alternated heat and ice to determine what eased the discomfort.
You have done splendidly, I think.
Keep the faith and hope you have a good weekend.

No truer words have been spoken.Everything is so close together and since it's all connected, it's hard to tell.
